  1. 16. Techno-economic and environmental analysis of alternative pathways for urea fertilizer production.

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Författare :Wilson Rodriguez; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Urea fertilizer; ammonia; natural gas; biogas; GWP; PE; hydrogen; nitrogen; technologies.;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing global population has placed significant pressure on meeting food demands, leading to the widespread use of fertilizers to enhance crop yields. Urea, being the most used fertilizer globally, has contributed to improved agricultural productivity. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Weather you like it or not : pre-season yield forecasting of malting barley with climate markers.

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Författare :Elsa Rozenbeek; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Yield forecasting; extreme weather; pre-season forecasting; climate markers; climate predictors; climate patterns; model calibration; DSSAT; crop model;

    Sammanfattning : Different means of yield forecasting have been investigated in many publications, although very few with a focus on pre-season forecasting. Climate change and the increasing risk of extreme weather events is a threat to food production, and early yield predictions could therefore be beneficial for farmer’s planning and management as a way towards more resilient food production.

  4. 18. Finding ways to develop a sustainable bioeconomy: The case of industrial cassava in Colombia : Environmental impact and food security insights from a combined life cycle assessment and interview study

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Isabel Nilsson Alarcón; [2023]
    Nyckelord :industrial cassava; food security; land use; climate change; biodiversity loss; sustainable bioeconomy; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Colombia; industriell kassava; tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning; markanvändning; klimatförändring; minskad biodiversitet; hållbar bioekonomi; livscykelanalys LCA ; Colombia;

    Sammanfattning : Cassava has been identified as a potential key crop for a sustainable bioeconomy in Colombia.However, the bioeconomy is not inherently sustainable, and neither is producing cassava,which makes research on it crucial. Increasing biomass circularity could be key for increasingthe cassava industry’s sustainability performance. LÄS MER

  5. 19. ROOFTOP GREENHOUSES: Comparison between Farm builder and IDA ICE energy simulation software

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Författare :Jean Claude Cyubahiro; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Rooftop greenhouses; Farm builder; IDA ICE; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid global urbanization is a major concern for the food production system, as it is recognized that relying on conventional methods of distant large-scale farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is rooftop greenhouses (RTG), which are greenhouses built on unoccupied rooftops. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Trade-induced Environmental Impacts Connected to a Policy Promoting Agricultural Biofuels in Sweden; A sensitivity analysis on an Agent-based Life Cycle Assessment

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Fanny Elfgren; [2023]
    Nyckelord :AB-LCA; Life Cycle Assessment; Energy crops; Trade; Import; Biofuel; Sensitivity Analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. LÄS MER
